Photovoltaic (PV) systems have been rapidly implemented in commercial facilities without determining the negative impacts that may result when connected to the facilities' electrical power system. The research presented shows the results of a study of the quality of electrical energy in a commercial installation in which there were no problems before implementing the PV system. Measurements of different parameters of the energy generated by the photovoltaic system and that provided by the electrical network are carried out, carrying out a simulation using the Helioscope software. As a result of the work, voltage variation and current harmonics problems are identified, carrying out a technical and economic analysis of implementing a passive filter that performs the respective corrective actions.

El ameloblastoma es un tumor benigno, localmente agresivo, que ocasiona deformidades faciales y con tendencia a la recurrencia. El objetivo del tratamiento del ameloblastoma es la remoción completa del tumor, la restauración de la función y el mantenimiento del aspecto estético. Se presenta el caso de un varón de 19 años que presenta tumoración en región mandibular y acude a consulta para tratamiento quirúrgico. Se realizó planificación virtual y modelo de impresión en 3D para reconstrucción mandibular con colgajo libre de peroné y modelo estereolitográfico para el manejo de su patología. Se observó una evolución post operatoria favorable; y una patología compatible con ameloblastoma mandibular intraóseo de patrón plexiforme. Si bien la cirugía es el tratamiento de elección para el diagnóstico de ameloblastoma; la planificación virtual y el modelo de impresión en 3D para la reconstrucción son herramientas útiles en el manejo de esta patología.

The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of nasal skin cancer, its location by facial aesthetic subunits and the type of reconstructive procedures performed for each nasal subunit after excision for nasal skin tumors. Observational cross-sectional study of all consecutive patients with the diagnosis of skin tumor located in the nasal unit, treated from 2018 to 2019 by the department of head and neck surgery of a general hospital. 60 patients were treated with nasal skin tumors excisions. A total of 52 patients (86,6%) had basal cell skin cancer, 7 (11,6%) had squamous cell skin cancer and 1 (1,6%) had melanoma. Fifty-nine patients (98.33%) presented a primary tumor and just 1 case (1,66%) recived a previous surgical treatment. Regardless of the type of tumor, the tip subunit was the most often involved with 29 (48,33%) cases in total. Despite of the nasal aesthetic subunit affected, the most frequent type of procedure used for reconstruction was the rotation or advancement flap, based on aesthetic nasal subunits, which was performed in 39 cases (65%). Nasal reconstruction after skin cancer can be very complex, especially since all patients have high expectations about the results. In order to achieve good results, there is a necessity for careful analysis of the defect, correct planning and excellent technical execution of the procedures Frequently, staged procedures will be needed to achieve an optimal result.

Until recently, 3,5-diiodothyronine (3,5-T2) has been considered an inactive by-product of triiodothyronine (T3) deiodination. However, studies from several laboratories have shown that 3,5-T2has specific, nongenomic effects on mitochondrial oxidative capacity and respiration rate that are distinct from those due to T3. Nevertheless, little is known about the putative genomic effects of 3,5-T2. We have previously shown that hyperthyroidism induced by supraphysiological doses of 3,5-T2inhibits hepatic iodothyronine deiodinase type 2 (D2) activity and lowers mRNA levels in the killifish in the same manner as T3and T4, suggesting a pretranslational effect of 3,5-T2(Garcia-G C, Jeziorski MC, Valverde-R C, Orozco A. Gen Comp Endocrinol 135: 201–209, 2004). The question remains as to whether 3,5-T2would have effects under conditions similar to those that are physiological for T3. To this end, intact killifish were rendered hypothyroid by administering methimazole. Groups of hypothyroid animals simultaneously received 30 nM of either T3, reverse T3, or 3,5-T2. Under these conditions, we expected that, if it were bioactive, 3,5-T2would mimic T3and thus reverse the compensatory upregulation of D2 and tyroid receptor β1 and downregulation of growth hormone that characterize hypothyroidism. Our results demonstrate that 3,5-T2is indeed bioactive, reversing both hepatic D2 and growth hormone responses during a hypothyroidal state. Furthermore, we observed that 3,5-T2and T3recruit two distinct populations of transcription factors to typical palindromic and DR4 thyroid hormone response elements. Taken together, these results add further evidence to support the notion that 3,5-T2is a bioactive iodothyronine.
